Our Philosophy

​

All children, regardless of their varying abilities and backgrounds, deserve to develop in an environment that encourages autonomy and personal responsibility. Children of differing abilities and ages can learn from each other while developing the virtues of care and compassion. 

The role of the professionals at I CAN is to provide this nurturing environment of supportive guidance in which children can learn from their choices and develop to their fullest potential. The role of the family is of primary importance in influencing a child's development. We seek to protect and enhance this role through support and encouragement of family involvement in decision-making.
